I walked to Gilligans to meet Stu as he was getting the same flight as me to Darwin as he decided to go and visit some family that he has there. The flight was at 12:45pm so I said goobye to his roommates and then we got the airport shuttle bus. The flight arrived at 3pm (new time) and we saw an Irish couple that we'd been on the shuttle bus with who asked if we wanted to share a taxi so we jumped in with them and got to Mitchell Street, which is the main stree...

Stu and Brent had said that they'd wanted to do a boat trip to the Great Barrier Reef so they ended up booking on my boat trip to Green Island so the three of us got up at 6:50am and checked in at 7:30am. The boat had 27 people on it and we had muffins and tea and coffee when we boarded. After only a few hours sleep we were all very grateful for the caffeine! We sailed off towards Green Island and when we arrived we went snorkelling. We followed one of the cr...
